Chi bi (2008)
A good but messy movie
Great action accompanied with great creativity makes the action what stands out as the best thing in the movie.
Although much is lost due to the messy editing, going between both sides of the battle often for what feels like no reason but to confuse you. And the Michael Bay-like high paced unmotivated camera moves, hard to distinguish characters and the armies wearing similar clothing also adds to the confusion that is this movie.
CGI is bad enough to take you out of the movie many times but it does serve the story more often than it takes away from it. Also might just be me but the spear SFX lacked in quality compared to the other sounds of the movie.
Ondskan (2003)
Cannot stand this dialogue
Every line in this film is delivered with zero enthusiasm and the same tone. Dialogue feels highly unrealistic. Other then that I enjoyed cinematography and the story was full of tension yet it was all lost due to the dialogue making me laugh most of the time.
Shun liu ni liu (2000)
Watch this maybe
I have no idea what happened in this movie maybe the swedish subtitles were taken from another movie or I missed every important line in the movie. Action was enjoying. Everything was surprising it was like in a dream, things just happened and it felt like it all lacked motivation.
Judging from the other reviews here this movie is supposed to be good and I don't doubt it is it felt like a good film while I watched it just that I didn't understand anything. There was some Spanish cockroaches though.
Maybe after four movies in one day it's hard to watch another or English subtitles are the way to go or maybe I should just stay away from foreign films. Not that you care.
Watch it and I think you will enjoy it just don't be me thank you.
Midway (2019)
Midway a good war movie
Midway is a true story about the planned attack on the midway by the Japanese and how the the Americans try to stop the attack as underdogs.
The movie was a good war movie but felt messy at times due to the way time passed, you didn't know if 1 day past or 6 months. Many characters were being intoduced that didn't have a lot of depth to them and we really never get to be familiar with the main characters.
The cinematography was good but CGI could have been better but still looked good in many scenes. Sound and music I didn't have any problems with. The action was intriguing due to the well made cinematography, sound and music and also good editing throughout the whole movie.
To improve the movie I'd have liked to have been able to understand the Japanese and their point of view of the conflict to make me root for both sides which I think the movie tried in doing but didn't succeed in for me. The way Christofer Nolan depicted the Germans In Dunkirk would also have worked for this movie, I think. Where we only know what the Americans know making us afraid of the Japanese as we never know when they are going to strike which would have given more time to go to a greater depth with the characters.
